DISHARMONY

Not an actual review of the game. But Youtube recommended me "I bought my own game from a reseller - Here's what happened" and i feel the dev deserve some extra positive reviews. Also he is a fan of Sonata Artica. My favorite band ever, waiting for Clear Cold Beyond.

I saw this guy's youtube video about buying a stolen key from a third party seller so I decided to throw him 10 bucks because I felt bad. Then I played the game. The puzzles make no sense, the rhythm part is done pretty poorly and requires way too precise execution, and nothing is really done to make it better or help us in any way. I'm already so confused and while I can tell there was some real love thrown in here, I can't recommend this. Great idea, terrrrrrriible execution.

Game took five hours to beat with baby mode activated (please see the part about Gameplay). Apparently im an shole who never strayed from the given path, judging from the 7 achievements I'm missing related to supposed side content. Oops. Guess I accidentally DarkSydePhil'd my way through the game, but maybe it was for the better. Ack ack. [h2]Story[/h2] Bad monster kidnaps your sister. Go rescue sister and kill bad monster, who is making people have bad nightmares. Ok, run-of-the-mill. Boring. But it's the journey that matters, so what's it like? Enter forest zone. Meet girl (Ashe). Beat her at guitar and invade her head, killing her nightmares. Ashe is now at your service. Enter autumn zone. Meet girl (Amber). Find her pendant and invade her head, killing her nightmares. Amber is now at your service. Enter city zone. Barge into a vtuber's house, who gets flustered at your entrance and proceeds to introduce herself... Wait, what? Well, her name is Ellie, which happens to be the name...

The game looks interesting, but it forgets your controller rebinds every time you close it. You should not have to reinput your controls every time you want to load a game.

Tentative recommendation. I really like the idea of a rhythm-based RPG battle system, and, for the most part, DISHARMONY executes it quite well. I found the battles challenging but fair, the music enjoyable (mostly because I'm fond of MIDI and sample tracker tunes), some of the visuals striking, and some of the narrative ideas quite compelling. I do, however, have a lot of complaints. I still ultimately recommend the game, but there are a lot of issues that hurt the experience. Most obviously, the pixel art isn't great. Visuals are low on my list of things to care about, but almost all of the art in the game is in this head-on perspective that makes everything feel flat and dimensionless, the lack of detail in the artwork made to stick out even more by the maps being unnecessarily large and spread out. Audio polish is rough for a rhythm game. There are no audio sliders, character dialogue noises are unpleasant and annoying, the volume of the music tracks feels inconsistent, and the ...

This game is oozing with vibe. There are amazing object interactions, easter eggs, stylized cutscenes sprinkled around the map and heartwarming CVs. The puzzles and platforming are a lot of fun. I love walking around and interacting with everyone and everything to uncover the crazy, silly and serious parts of the world the game is in. The game's style seems like a mix of Undertale and FNAF's Atari themed minigames. There is a colorful, fun vibe with a bit of darkness brewing under the surface. I found the writing, especially the characters and jokes funny and entertaining. I really dig it. My main criticism is the sink or swim approach to combat. It *feels* unfair. Attacking and defending against monsters is done in a rhythm game. Unfortunately, the difficulty of attacking is much higher than defending. The first enemy of the game, the Bad Apple/Jack O Lantern is shown in in the trailers. The attack sequence for the first enemy is not easy, so I couldn't kill it without going through ...

i gave a positive review because why not

I love it I have finished the main storyline, and now trying to do all the behind the curtains stuff. I don't believe I've ever been indulged in a game's mystery so much. I have so many notes about the lore, character names and therories. Planning to write a guide in the future. Lukas, your game is great. Not perfect but great. I love it a lot, thank you

First of all: Music was super duper good 10/10 I bought this game out of curiosity coming from Youtube. As said, many reviewers say "rhythm" parts are way too hard. Same for me; way too precise and not forgiving single error. Played with cheat mode and felt some parts could be doable as "casual" gamer. You're also missing features with "cheat mode". Story was interesting enough and carried thru the game and attention to small details is intensive (maybe too much for single dev). While I appreciate them, many won't and I probably missed so many small things.. I'm not sure if I want to try get the true true ending as I got stuck.. Also be warned that you can make coins disappear in coin puzzle.

I just wanted to let people know it works well on Linux with Proton. I don't have a steam deck but it should work fine on there with maybe some controller tweaks. The text size seems fine for a smaller screen.
